People sleep on this guy, but he's got a crazy sense of humor. Why else would he be smashing Jennifer Aniston?
The Creative Process:
In the Studio With Kanye West:
He even had a show on VH1. How do you manage to get your show cancelled after only one episode? Might have something to do with Trick Daddy, paying people to shave all of their hair, or dressing up in a bear costume to harass your fans.
It's summer time, and that plus everyone getting their recession checks means that it's time to cop some summer shoes. Step your game up and cop a pair of Sperry Topsiders, for those days on the deck while you're sailing the Mediterranean. Right now they have a deal going, 25% and free shipping.
My favorites?
Sperry Topsider 25% off + free shipping on purchase of $150+
I can't believe it. I mean I can, but I don't want to.
Nas Changes Controversial Album Title
A representative for Def Jam has confirmed to EW.com that hip-hop artist Nas has made an eleventh-hour decision to change the title of his new album from N----- to simply Nas. The Queens rapper sparked a heated debate last fall when he announced the provocative title for his upcoming ninth record, but last October, Island Def Jam Music Group chair Antonio "L.A." Reid publicly denied widespread reports that label execs were uncomfortable with his decision. "We stand firmly behind and beside our artists with pride and with pleasure," Reid told MTV News at the time. "Anything Nas wants to do, I completely stand beside him."
But in an interview with MTV News last week, Nas suggested that he was facing renewed pressure: "Everybody is trying to stop the title.... Record stores are gonna have a problem in this day and time selling a record with that title. Who knows what's gonna turn out and be on that title? Who knows what that title will be?" The politically-charged Nas is due in stores July 1. For more of Nas' thoughts on his new music, check EW's summer music preview coverage in print on Friday.
UPDATE: In a statement, Nas clarified that he considers his new album untitled, adding: "It's important to me that this album gets to the fans. It’s been a long time coming. I want my fans to know that, creatively and lyrically, they can expect the same content and the same messages. It's that important. The streets have been waiting for this for a long time. The people will always know what the real title of this album is and what to call it."
When Kanye performed at the Grammys rocking these mystery sneakers, the internet was buzzing with speculation. Some thought they were Ato Matsumoto's, while some thought it was some Creativ Rec collaboration. Well, guess no more, as these joints are more official than once thought.
Presenting the Nike Air Yeezy:
Ah, yes. Visible Air unit, suede toe with a perforated leather toe box/forefoot, extra-hightop tongue, patent leather strap, reinforced laceholes; the list goes on. Expect them to drop for about $180, though no date has been confirmed.
Lil' Wayne does some pretty hard drugs. He's scared of 50 Cent, but it's cool because when he retires he's gonna be a French rapper, so he won't have to worry about Curtis. Let's look at some other stuff Weezy has to say to fan-submitted questions from Blender Magazine: What drug will you never do again? Freak_leak, Yakima, WA
I don’t do too many; I just smoke weed and drink sip. But I’ll never fuck with no more coke. It’s not about a bad high, it’s just about the acne: Cocaine makes your face break out, and I’m a pretty boy.
50 Cent has called you a “whore” repeatedly. Where is your comeback rhyme already? Endlesslurve, Phoenix Man, I have to call him and say thank you. He’s catapulted me. Nigga, white people know me now! Thank you! Diss rhyme? Fuck no! That nigga thrives off that. I am not feeding that tiger. I’m smart. Do you see his size? I’m small. I saw a YouTube video of this dude playing a concert; somebody threw water on him—he took off his hat, went in the crowd, grabbed that nigga and boom! I was like, This nigga’s the hardest nigga on planet Earth. So, no, I’m not dissing 50. And I’m not throwing water on him, neither.
Between the hundreds of rhymes you’ve recorded in the past few years, how do you remember them all? ptinykiks, Abilene, TX
I don’t. Before I play a show, I need to sit with a CD player and remind myself.
You’ve said you want to retire and become a French hip-hop star. What dirty French words do you know? Planter_6, Middletown, CT
Uh, ménage à trois? Man, I don’t know when I said that. I be saying all kinds of shit, ’cause I be wanting to do all kinds of shit. I be high, y’all.
Who do you want to take the White House? candida.efrom, Detroit
Barack, I guess, but I can’t make a real opinion. I ain’t watching no debates. I just want my people to understand that Hillary and Barack are not running for president—they running to be able to run for president. There’s a Republican party, too—we ain’t about to win, fool! A woman or a black man versus an old white dude? Fuck no! They gonna be like, This black-ass nigga trying to come in my Oval Office? Fuuuuck no. The world about to end in 2012 anyway. ’Cause the Mayans made calendars, and they stop at 2012. I got encyclopedias on the bus. The world is gonna end as we know it. You can see it already. A planet doesn’t exist: There’s no more Pluto. Planes are flying into buildings—and not just the Twin Towers, but dudes who play baseball are flying planes into buildings. Mosquitoes bite you and you die. And a black man and a woman are running for president!

FOX has released the first photo for the upcoming Family Guy spinoff 'The Cleveland Show' which will come to FOX in Spring 2009.
THE CLEVELAND SHOW (working title) (Sundays, 9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT):
Many years ago, CLEVELAND BROWN (voiced by Mike Henry) was a high school student madly in love with a beautiful girl named DONNA. Much to his dismay, his love went unrequited, and Donna wound up marrying another man. Cleveland once told Donna he would always love her, and if this man ever done her wrong, he'd be there when she called. Well, this man done her wrong. Donna's husband skipped town with another woman, leaving Donna with a daughter and a baby. Now she's come to Cleveland and offered him another chance at love. Unattached after the Loretta-Quagmire debacle and true to his word, Cleveland joyously accepts and he and CLEVELAND JR. move to Stoolbend, VA, to join their new family.
Once in Stoolbend, Cleveland has a few surprises in store for him, including a flirtatious new stepdaughter, a 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies, as well as a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck couple, a British family seemingly stuck in the Victorian era and a family of bears living at the end of the block. FAMILY GUY was only the beginning. Get ready for THE CLEVELAND SHOW (working title)!

I mean, it's Mariah, and they're supposed to be married or whatever, but God damn, Nick. Your a grown man. You know that's a violation. That whole "clown me all you want" argument can only go so far before you actually become a clown.
First it's a tattoo, then she replaces all your furniture, and then one day you look in the mirror and you're this guy:
